2 2-A LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO 4 de mayo de 2014 Comentarios... COMMENTARY... EDITORIALs El santo cómplice Por Jorge Ramos Ávalos La canonización del papa Juan Pablo II es un insulto y una afrenta para las miles de víctimas de abuso sexual por parte de sacerdotes católicos durante su papado ( ). Este nuevo santo ocultó y protegió a violadores sexuales de niños dentro de la iglesia católica. Pudo haber evitado muchísimos crímenes pero decidió no hacerlo. Es muy difícil de entender la motivación del nuevo papa Francisco al consumar la ceremonia de canonización de Juan Pablo II este 27 de abril. Hacer santo a un cómplice de tantos delitos no tiene nada de revolucionario. En este asunto el papa Francisco ha sido muy tibio; no se ha atrevido a pasar de las palabras a acciones concretas. No basta que hace solo unos días el papa Francisco haya asumido la responsabilidad por esta terrible crisis moral dentro de la iglesia. En una reunión reciente en el Vaticano, el Pontífice dijo: Debo asumir la responsabilidad y pedir perdón por los daños que ellos han causado con el abuso sexual de niños. La Iglesia está al tanto de este daño. Es su propio daño personal y moral, pero son hombres de la Iglesia. Lo que Su Voto es Su Voz State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte Por Raúl Benoit Mi América soñada Hace mucho tiempo no soñaba sobre el destino de esta tierra hermosa americana, pero han vuelto esos sueños recurren tes en donde los líderes que mandan dan un giro inesperado, progresista en sus planes e ideas y se convierten en verdaderos guías del continente. Sueño con políticos que no roban ni engañan. Justos y sin ambiciones, que comienzan una revolución pacífica, cambiando el destino de las naciones sometidas por la manipulación de las democracias al servicio de poderes de extrema izquierda o de extrema derecha. Sueño con una América libre le faltó fue decir que entregaría a las autoridades civiles a los criminales sexuales que aún hay vestidos de sotana y que va a dejar de proteger a delincuentes. No se atrevió. Tampoco se atrevió a decir la verdad sobre Juan Pablo II. A Juan Pablo II lo hacen santo por, supuestamente, realizar dos milagros: curar de Parkinson s a una monja francesa y de un aneurisma cerebral a una costarricense. Ellas dicen que le rezaron y que él, ya muerto, las curó. Lástima que en vida Juan Pablo II no se preocupó tanto de los niños que violó su amigo y confidente, Marcial Maciel, el fundador de los Legionarios de Cristo. O de otros miles de menores de edad que fueron abusados sexualmente y con plena impunidad durante sus 27 años de pontificado. Cómo puede ser santo alguien que permite esto? Lo verdaderamente revolucionario por parte del papa Francisco hubiera sido ser congruente con sus palabras la Iglesia está al tanto de este daño y detener la canonización del principal cómplice de estos crímenes. Es imposible suponer que la política institucional de la iglesia de Perhaps every Latino has heard or read those words. The phrase is simple, yet profound. And too often, ignored. Younger Latinos may not know where the phrase originated. But those of my generation, who came of age in the late 1960s and 1970s, will instantly link it with the name Willie Velásquez. On May 9, I hope every Texan will learn about and honor the late Velásquez, recognizing the tremendous contribution he made to American democracy. That day will be the 70th anniversary of his birth, and by decree of the Texas Legislature, it will be the first observance of Willie Velásquez Day in our state. It s an honor that is long overdue. William C. Velásquez, of course, is one of our homegrown heroes in fact, his family lived a block down Huisache Avenue from mine. He attended Edgewood Elementary School and Holy Rosary Catholic School and graduated from Central Catholic High School here in San Antonio. He earned a degree in economics in 1966 from St. Mary s University. As the civil rights movement caught fire throughout the United States, Velásquez sought to make sure the Latino community was included. He became involved with the United Farm Workers and the National Council of La Raza, organizing Latinos to exercise political power. And he knew that, while political power can be a complex thing, it flows from a very simple act: voting. He knew that if Latinos voted, responsible government would respond. For that reason, in 1971 he founded the Citizens Voter Research and Education Project, which later became the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project (SVREP). Velásquez left this world way too soon, in 1988 at the age of 44, a victim of kidney de la tiranía económica y bancaria, donde se puedan desarrollar las naciones y no solo se enriquezcan unos pocos. Sueño que en los Estados Unidos desaparece el espíritu belicoso y comienza una era donde los grandes presupuestos de la guerra se destinan a calmar el hambre en Latinoamérica. Donde las fronteras se abren y la discriminación desaparezca sinceramente. Sueño con un pueblo venezolano liberado de un régimen socialista, el cual renuncia a seguir enfrentando a los ciudadanos y no mata a los jóvenes. Sueño que el chavismo corrige su rumbo y no camina hacia la delincuencia organizada como método de defensa del poder.

Además de los cientos de testimonios de las víctimas, hay innumerables evidencias de estos hechos. La Prensa Asociada reportó que ya desde 1948 el Vaticano tenía denuncias contra Marcial Maciel. El exsacerdote Alberto Athie me dijo, en una entrevista por Univisión, que desde 1999 él había denunciado a Maciel a la Santa Sede, pero que no le hicieron nada por su cercanía al papa Juan Pablo II. Y un reporte de Naciones Unidas en febrero critica la política de encubrimiento de la Iglesia católica y le pide abrir sus archivos y entregar a los sacerdotes pederastas a las autoridades civiles. Juan Pablo II, claramente, se puso del lado de los violadores y no de las víctimas. Entiendo que rezar es una cuestión de fe, algo que claramente no tengo. Pero no puedo imaginar que alguien le rece a una persona que, indirectamente, permitió que se destruyeran las vidas de tantos niños. Sí, Juan Pablo II era muy carismático, extendió el alcance de la Iglesia y contribuyó a la caída del comunismo. Pero uno cancer. But his legacy lives on SVREP is still going strong, carrying out its mission: To empower Latinos and other minorities by increasing their participation in the American democratic process. Look at my career and those of other Latino elected officials the work of Willie Velásquez and those who joined him allowed Latinos to be elected at the local level. I know in my heart that I m in the Legislature today because of Willie s vision. We are the result of what happens when people participate in this representative democracy by voting and are able to elect the candidate of their choice. One of the authors of the legislation that made Willie Velásquez Day happen, Rep. Robert Alonzo, is a great example of that. Rep. Alonzo recently told a newspaper reporter that in 1986; only 15 percent of the Latinos in his Dallas district were registered to vote. Today, he said, 65 percent are proudly Sueño con un dúo de gobernantes, Maduro y Cabello, que van a la escuela para estudiar y ahora comprenden qué significa respetar los Derechos Humanos y la libertad. Sueño con los supermercados de ese país llenos de alimentos y que el papel higiénico ya no escasee y la carne, la leche y las verduras ya no las adquieran con cupones como en Cuba. Y hablando de Cuba, he soñado que los Castro descansaron en paz y por consiguiente el pueblo se libró de ese estado catatónico que lo había dejado anclado en el pasado. Sueño que viajo a la isla y mi tomo una auténtica Cuba Libre. Sueño con una Colombia sin odios, sin rencores ni envidias. Sin narcotraficantes que dañan la salud de otros por la codicia. Individuos nuevos que enfocan su inteligencia e imaginación para beneficiar a la gente. Sueño con una guerrilla cuyas únicas armas son el machete y el azadón que los usan solo para cultivar los campos volviéndolos productivos, acabando el hambre y la miseria. Sueño con un México libre de de los temas centrales de su papado la protección de niños de abuso sexual fue un verdadero y vergonzoso fracaso. Quiero creer que el papa Francisco conoce de verdad el terrible legado de abuso sexual que dejó Juan Pablo II hay miles de casos y pruebas penales y que prefirió no enfrentar por ahora esa bronca. Claro, en el Vaticano también hay politiquería. Aunque sospecho que tarde o temprano le morderá (y remorderá) su evidente tibieza en este crucial asunto. El papa Francisco, quie ro creer, jamás guardaría el silencio criminal que mantuvo Juan Pablo II. La infalibilidad papal es un chiste. Juan Pablo II se equivocó al proteger a criminales y el papa Francisco también al hacerlo santo. Santo? No. Juan Pablo II será recordado por los miles de víctimas de abuso por parte de sacerdotes como el santo cómplice de los violadores sexuales. ( Tiene algún comentario o pregunta para Jorge Ramos?

Large numbers of Latinos in the United States, people who are fully eligible to vote, do not make it to the polls. Still more need to be registered and actually cast a ballot. Schools, parks, and libraries have been named after Velásquez. On May 9, I m sure yet more honors will be bestowed upon his memory. But there s one way you can honor Willie Velásquez that tops all the rest: Vote. Contact the Bexar County Voter Registration Office ( VOTE, or go to elections.bexar.org) or the voter registrar in whatever county you may live in, fill out a voter registration card, and on Election Day make yourself heard. Your vote truly is your voice, and Willie Velásquez wanted you to speak up, loud and clear. Siempre, Su Voto es Su Voz. violencia, unido por el progreso y sin intereses partidistas ni económicos, con empresarios como Carlos Slim que se vuelven menos codiciosos y que sus ganancias las inviertan en educación y salud para el pueblo. Sueño con Daniel Ortega haciendo de Nicaragua un país desarrollado, sin rencillas y componendas para atornillarse en el poder. Este renovado Ortega decide, en mi sueño, avanzar hacia el futuro y desencadenarse del lastre desafortunado de la izquierda mal entendida que somete a la gente a un futuro de pobreza. Sueño con una América habitada por gente que respeta, que no engaña, ni miente, ni difama. Que no mata los sentimientos y las ilusiones por la intransigencia de querer imponer su ley. Sueño con un pueblo que ya no pregunta: Qué voy a comer hoy?, sino que dice: Qué bueno, comí hoy! Al despertar de esta ilusión me doy cuenta que la América fantástica y macondiana sobrevive porque no pierde la esperanza y los sueños siguen siendo su más vigoroso alimento. Higher education is the rule and not the exception The week that was, kicked off with Mayor Julián Castro touting his all too familiar agenda about the reason behind College Week as he puts it, This city is telling the world that we value education and we are putting our young people on a path to college success. This has been an ongoing theme for the past three years where young people, elementary school aged children, this time around from Briscoe Academy. The message is that San Antonio s Destination College Week involves not only students, but their parents. The numbers quoted are impressive, since 2010 nearly 50 percent of the city s high school graduates were enrolled in college. Needless to say, this is a number the mayor and SA2020 would like to see move up. They see this happening through the College Week initiative. If last year s family involvement is any indication, 2014 s College Week could see an even better turn out. The overall goal SA2020 and the mayor would like to see is college enrollment reaching 80 percent. The buzz phrase may soon well be, a college-going culture, after all the mayor would like to give the impression that this city, schools and young people stand out as an example of the brain power San Antonio has to offer. To insure that San Antonio s brain trust has the fuel it needs Clean up your backyard Vice President Joe Biden was recently in Ukraine, the highest ranking U.S. official to meet leaders of the nation under siege by the Russians. While there, Biden told his Ukraine counterparts the United States is promising an additional $50 million in aid for political and economic reforms in Ukraine amid the ongoing tension with Russia. That s a lot of money from a country that is dealing with a multi-trillion dollar deficit. A day doesn t pass that someone somewhere in this country isn t feeling the effects of the recently ended recession. There have been numerous shooting across the country and in most instances the shooter has had mental problems. Yet individual state governments are doing nothing more than paying lip service to the problem of mental health. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has a problem with inmates with mental illness and how to rehabilitate them. So big is the problem two Texas house committees are addressing the issue in an effort to see if these troubled inmates can be rehabilitated. The most recent shooting occurred at military installation at Ft. Hood in Killeen. The individual responsible for the spree that left four dead and 16 others injured, reportedly was undergoing evaluation for Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Managing Editor JOE SANDOVAL Assignments Editor to keep pace with the rest of the world, the foundation has been laid and the mayor has the foresight to capitalize on this. At the top of this is Rackspace. Graham Weston was offered a place to call home in California, but he felt that home should be San Antonio and now the Cloud hosting company is known worldwide. Rackspace spawned a collective brain trust of sorts, Geekdom. Here creative individuals have a workspace where they can bounce ideas off and, not to sound clichés, what sticks to the wall is seen as a positive from all those ideas. Just how successful has this Geekdom become may be seen with its purchase of the former Woll & Marx building. So from two floors at the Westin Tower, Geekdom now has an entire building. It gets better, Google is looking at setting up a fiber network that would see San Antonio s access to the Internet go from night to day and make San Antonio a hub for this activity that would open the doors to more tech companies that need to be in the fast lane. After all, the tech world exists in nano time. The adage that adding another ship in the harbor raises the level of the sea apparently has bearing. Within months of the Google announcement, communications giant AT&T said it was looking at 100 cities for its ultra-fast fiber network and among the list is San Antonio. Locally, state legislators have slashed the budget that handled mental illness. As a result individuals who need the help have to do without because of those budget cuts. These mental health issues are nothing new. Yet it seems that they re always tied to money or lack of money. However, the money is there. Unfortunately, to those who control the purse strings always have something or somewhere else to spend the money they do have. The announcement of $50 million for Ukraine is good news cycle item, but the problems at home are still not addressed. It seems that every day the U.S. is giving millions to other countries for the problems they have to deal with to keep them going. What about our people who are living with mental health illness? Don t they deserve the same kind of help? Rather than send the money elsewhere, why not take care of your own. One realizes that even if the government were to use that $50 million it would mean each state would only receive a million dollars. That s a million dollars the states don t now have. So many adages come to mind on what should be done with U.S. dollars and one has to ask why the government can t do something on its own to help its own people.

4 4-A LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO 4 de mayo de 2014 Another Broadway-Hildebrand intersection closure By April Alcoser The intersection of Broadway and Hildebrand will be closed for four days beginning Friday, May 2, This closure, which starts on 9 p.m. on Friday night, will be the last intersection closure of the project. It will open again by 5 a.m. Wednesday morning. Area businesses like Cheesy Jane s, Bill Miller s and the Wash Tub, along with the University of the Incarnate Word, The Broadway Condos and AT&T were presented with the idea of the four day closure versus closing over two weekends. They supported the four-day closure option due to benefits such as this being the final intersection closure of the project and expediting the intersection work. Coordination with area organizations also indicated that conducting the closure at this time would Southbound Broadway Traffic Groveland Cut Through The detour map shows the routes open to drivers.

But according to Alamo Healthcare Systems CEO and founder, Dr. Robert Lowry, there are a few things to keep in mind to avoid injury. With the way sports go these days, we don t really see kids seasonally besides football, but baseball and volleyball go year-round. We look at aerobics and stretching, because that s where a lot of the injuries come from, Lowry told La Prensa. Lowry founded Alamo Healthcare systems in 1997, with four specialty clinics located throughout San Antonio, including the neurology and sports rehabilitation clinic located in Southside San Antonio. Lowry graduated with his Bachelors in Biological sciences from UC Irvine, where he met his wife, Lynell, who is also a physician. They both attended medical school at George Washington University in Washington DC before working at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio for their residency. He has been working with his wife in Bexar County since My goal in the long run is to get unemployed because everyone is healthy, Dr. Lowry said. While he stays busy with his practice, he occasionally works as a physician for local boxing matches. It really brings you back to that community... I do some of the professional types, but the golden gloves give you an opportunity to get to know people in the neighborhood, Lowry said. While there are many sports related injuries, the most common patients are adults. A lot of the adults that we re treating these days are folks that don t necessarily get regular exercise. We see people with a lot of knee pain and shoulder pain and a lot of miles on them, Lowry said. We also work on a lot of people with arthritis these days people who are going up and down the stairs and we can actually treat them without surgery, he added. Lowry recommends slowly reentering physical activities, and a great deal of stretching, until you know your body s limits. It s the same things we learned as kids, but we just kind of neglected now that were older, Lowry explained. La película ha sido clasifi cada El pase no garantiza un asiento.

5 4 de mayo de 2014 LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO 5-A Breast cancer survivors sought for new study By Elizabeth A. Allen Breast cancer survivors can now join a new study to learn how certain foods may reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. The study, Rx for Better Breast Health, is funded by Susan G. Komen and led by Amelie Ramirez, Dr. P.H., professor and director of the Institute for Health Promotion Research (IHPR) at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio. Breast cancer survivors who participate will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Each group will get different cancer nutrition tools, possibly including several cooking demonstrations by Chef Iverson Brownell, who creates innovative culinary recipes that taste great and promote health. People interested in participating can call (210) to see if they qualify. We want to teach survivors the importance of a dietary plan full of foods with disease-fighting properties, Ramirez, who also is associate director for cancer prevention and health disparities and the Max and Minnie Tomerlin Voelcker Endowed Chair in Cancer Health Care Disparities at the Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC) at the Closure...

They will finish southbound Broadway will remain installing box culverts for the open during the closure, as it has storm drainage system across the been during previous intersection intersection and also reconstruct closures. Access to all businesses will remain available through local streets while the intersection and roadway is closed. Signs will be placed to direct motorists through the detours and to local businesses. Drivers will be diverted with signage to N. New Braunfels before they reach the intersection. Drivers headed east on Health Science Center said. The dietary choices people make can positively or negatively influence inflammation, the process your body uses to protect itself in response to infection or injury, Michael Wargovich, Ph.D., study co-principal investigator and professor of molecular medicine and holder of the CTRC s Cancer Center Council Distinguished Chair in Oncology said. Although inflammation is a vital part of the healing process of wounds and infections, if inflammation becomes chronic, it actually causes illness, like cancer Some beneficial anti-inflammatory foods are deep marine fish, dark leafy green vegetables, bright multi-colored vegetables, black and green teas, and many spices and herbs. Science has taught us that eating these types of foods can benefit health, and we want to see how a diet of these foods can impact breast cancer survivors, Wargovich said. To join the study, breast cancer survivors must be ages and meet additional criteria. Participants who complete the study s three assessments including surveys, blood work, and other measurements at the CTRC will be given H-E-B gift cards. Hildebrand are required to turn right onto Broadway, where they can continue south or follow the signage toward N. New Braunfels to head north. All drivers are encouraged to travel at appropriate speeds while using local roads. Electronic message boards are in place to notify motorists of the upcoming closure. El Machito...

We re trying to exercise discipline, because there have been other opportunities to open other restaurants, and multiple locations, but I need to see what the next best step is for us, Hernandez said. I want to make sure that we re using the best techniques, the best ingredients...but I think as long as we keep influencing our city as a food destination, we re on the right track, he added. Hernandez found his passions for food and entrepreneurship at an early age, but believes his success can be attributed to working hard and working with the right people. It s what I ve been doing for GOOD IS starting or expanding your own business. 19 years building teams to go execute a well-written game plan and menu. I ve been doing the same thing for a long time, we re just doing it in a restaurant setting with bigger teams, Hernandez said. If you have a concept that locals embrace, and visitors seek you for what s being done well and tastefully, that s a great formula for a business, he added. When asked if he would ever venture outside of the Mexican culinary world, he replied, No. I decided about seven years ago, that this is how I would end my career. There s so much left to do, that Mexico has inspired me to do, between the food and the artisans of Mexico you need two lifetimes to do it, Hernandez added. Holocaust... (continued from page 1-A) able to recognize her. Every few weeks the prisoners would travel to different concentration camps, and the soldiers would eliminate people everyday. Jalnos said the prisoners would receive a slice of bread, some water, and soap shavings daily. She worked twelve-hour shifts at a factory refining small parts to machinery. On Easter Sunday in 1945, Jalnos and other prisoners were forced to go out on a death march. The soldiers would shoot at whoever would linger behind or collapsed from the walk. Amid the horror, Jalnos stopped and reminisced about the arrival of their freedom. And then the Americans arrived, Jalnos said. They said we were free. But Jalnos was alone. She would later find out her sister Anna would be released four weeks later. I didn t know who was alive, she said. Jalnos went back home and received a notice that her sister and brother were still alive. Now, Jalnos lives in San Antonio with her sister, Anna Rado. Hope kept our faith, Jalnos said. Jalnos added how in the beginning talking about her experiences was difficult, until the 60s, she began to take comfort in opening up about the terror she endured. Now, if someone wants to listen; I ll talk, she said. Although the experience was traumatizing, it didn t keep Jalnos from having a normal life. After she was liberated, Jalnos married in October 1949 and traveled to Texas. She has four children and five grand-children. She worked as a seamstress and her husband as a plumber. Work makes you free in this country, she said. Her past tragic, but her message classic. Be grateful to have a nice bed, a good breakfast, Jalnos said. Be grateful. Jalnos had been invited by Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honor Society, to share her experience. History professor Edward Westermann said we are fortunate to hear Jalnos story. We have this window of time and that window is rapidly getting smaller, he said. In 10 years, there may not be any survivors in this community that are will or able to continue to do their testimony.

6 6-A LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO Pregúntale a Andrés Por Andrés Gutiérrez Andrés, no tengo deudas y tengo $5,000 ahorrado que quie r o invertir, dónde lo pongo? Olegario, Laredo, TX Olegario: Si es todo lo que tienes, no inviertas ese dinero. Mantén este dinero como fondo de emergencia. Un fondo de emergencia completo es tener de tres a seis meses de gastos mensuales; dependiendo de tus ingresos puede ser que andes corto con esos $5,000. Ahora, si tus gastos mensuales en los próximos tres a seis meses igualan a $5,000, ya tienes tu fondo de emergencia completo. Pero lo más probable es que te falte y tienes que seguir ahorrando. El fondo de emergencia no es una inversión, es para protegerte contra las sorpresas que da vida. Tú necesitas un respaldo financiero para protegerte mientras empiezas a organizarte y planificar para tu jubilación que es el próximo paso de un buen plan financiero. No confundas la función del fondo de emergencia; ese dinero es para guárdalo y no tocarlo a menos que sea una EMERGENCIA. Ahora, el fondo de emergencia no puede estar debajo de tu colchón. Tú sabes muy bien que cuando el fondo de emergencia está en la casa, hasta la pizza se convierte en una emergencia. No tiene sentido de tener el dinero tan accesible como para usarlo para cualquier antojo; ni tampoco tiene sentido tenerlo en una cuenta, en un banco en otro país dentro de una caja fuerte y nadie sepa la combinación. Por eso yo te recomiendo que pongas tu fondo de emergencia en una cuenta de Money Market. Esta es una cuenta de ahorros que paga como un CD (Certificado de Depósito). Una vez más, como este dinero no es para invertir, no nos preocupamos tanto por el rendimiento de la cuenta. Lo mejor de las cuentas de Money Market es que tienes acceso a todo el dinero de urgencia si lo necesitas, pero también pone algo de distancia en comparación de tenerlo en la casa. Ahora, Olegario, el tener un fondo de emergencia es el paso tres de un buen plan financiero; si ya tuvieras el fondo de emergencia aparte de los $5,000, yo te recomendaría el paso cuatro que es poner el 15% de tu ingresos en cuentas de jubilación. Si tu empleo te ofrece un 401(k) te recomiendo que invierta tu dinero hasta que te igualan. Si puedes, también de recomiendo invertir en un ROTH IRA. Esta cuenta es una de mis favoritas porque no pagas impuestos a la medida que crece el fondo. Espero que esto te puede ayudar a hace que su dinero crezca.

Local writers receive $10,000 grant Truancy... cases now get filed in one court, that resolves issues about inconsistencies and filings, Justice of the Peace Pct. 4 Judge Rogelio Lopez said. Under the new program, all students have to meet the same requirements before being sent to court. The requirements and prevention strategies are currently being developed by county and school district officials. As the largest school district in the city, NISD has been instrumental in providing efforts and sees a great potential for the program. Northside has a concern with truancy as does any other school district, so the coming together of minds is in the best interest in getting students back in schools and making truancy court the last 4 de mayo de 2014 (continued from page 1-A) resort, Sullivan added. That s our focus. According to Sullivan, NISD currently takes a very individualistic approach to truancy and even developed an attendance video that all students in the district are shown at one point or another. It s personal in Northside, what that means is we take the time to gather the relevant individuals in a meeting to discuss the issues that are causing the nonattendance for those students, so, you would have an administrator, a student, a parent, possibly a nurse, possibly a counselor, possibly a probation officer, it just depends on the circumstances involving the student, Sullivan added. The meetings are triggered once a student has three unexcused absences within a four week period. Under state rules, a student is in violation of the Compulsory Attendance Law if he or she has three unexcused absences in a four week period or 10 unexcused absences in a six month period. Truancy is considered a Class C misdemeanor and carries up to a $500 fine. According to Rogelio, when students stay home from school, they re most likely doing things they shouldn t be doing. Ninety percent of all inmates start out in the truancy court, Lopez said. Truancy is a gateway to juvenile crime and truancy is strongly correlated to high school dropout rate, one out of every four high school freshmen does not graduate. Lopez concluded that at the end of the day, the program is about giving students a better chance at success.

7 4 de mayo de 2014 LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO 7-A Children s Museum to feature new Discovery Camps By Natalie Bobadilla Summer break is right around the corner, but that doesn t mean learning has to take a hiatus. Beginning June 16, the San Antonio Children s Museum will once again hold a variety of fun and educational Discovery Camps geared towards children ages four through 10. We have nine weeks of camps that will explore the intersection between science, art and creativity, San Antonio Children s Museum Education Director Robin Voight told La Prensa. Typically, the museum hosts three different camps that each last nine weeks, this year they will offer three new camp options that will explore different themes every week adding up to a nine week camp period at the museum. One of the new camps is Sensational Summer, it s all about the science and art that make up the five senses. Kids will create musical instruments, design sound telescopes, uncover how smell affects taste and find inspiration through the five senses to create art. Another new camp, Amazing Explorations, will allow children to explore land, water, air and even outer space. Using a compass and the stars above, the children will plan a trip in a space ship and will investigate world cultures through both theatre and dance. During LEGO Camp, children will build a city one week, then they ll make vehicles and lastly they ll create machines, all out of LEGOS. Older children will have a chance to build and program their own LEGO robots. A child could come all summer long and explore something different every week, Voight said. In comparison to past camps at the Children s Museum, Voight said the museum is taking more of a STEM approach this year because they re stepping more into the content of the new Children s Museum to be unveiled June It s kind of a little mini taste of all the types of things people will see in the new museum, more STEM activities and more of that kind of where science and art meet, Voight added. According to Children s Museum Marketing and Public Relations Associate, Bruce Graham, Discovery Camps are not only a great way to keep kids active during the summer, it s also an opportunity for kids to get out and explore some concepts that they haven t gotten to explore before. They re going to take something away from each camp, something new that they ll be able to grow on as they continue their education, Graham said. To register for any or all three of the camp sessions visit SAKids.org/SummerCamp. Children can soak up summer while learning about science and art at a Discovery Camp.

8 8-A LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO 4 de mayo de 2014 Calidad de vida Por Ana Cristina González El verano está a la vuelta de la esquina, y es en este momento en el que todos nos comenzamos a preocupar por la salud y por nuestro físico. Queremos vernos bien y le echamos el doble de ganas al gimnasio. Pero no te preocupes, eso está perfectamente bien porque nunca es tarde para comenzar una nueva rutina, y menos cuando tenemos una motivación. Es por esto que aquí te doy algunos tips para que tu verano comience de lujo en todos los sentidos. 1. Toma agua. Asegúrate de que lo primero que hagas al despertarse sea tomarte tu vaso de agua. Después de esto, no olvides tomar agua todo el día para mantenerte hidratado y matar el hambre. 2. Desayuna bien. Recuerda desayunar como campeón. Elige entre tu plato de avena, un yogurt con granola y fruta, cereal con linaza o un pan tostado y huevo con verduras. Si sientes que una de estas opciones no son suficientes, no te preocupes porque puedes elegir las tres. Toma tu desayuno como si fuera tu arma más filosa para combatir el estrés de tu día. 3. Haz ejercicio todos los días. Algunos dicen que con que hagas ejercicio tres veces por semana es suficiente, pero yo te digo que entre más ejercicio hagas, más motivante se vuelve tu rutina y mejor será el camino para llegar a tu meta. Ya sea una caminata por tu cuadra, correr 15 minutos diarios, levantar pesas, bailar, nadar o andar en bicicleta, todo tipo de actividad física diaria funcionará, sin importar la hora del día. 4. Cena temprano. Por lo regu lar nuestro día comienza de maravilla porque desayunamos nutritivo y comemos bien, pero cuando ya hicimos ejercicio y termina nuestro día es cuando más hambre nos da. Si tu problema es que llegas tarde a casa, entonces procura encontrar platillos sanos y ligeros que te dejen bien satisfecho. Una ensalada sin aderezo, un pepino cortado con limón y pimienta de Cayena, un jugo de verduras, ensalada de atún con chile, tomate y cebolla o un plato de lentejas podrían ser tu mejor opción. 5. Duerme bien. Procura dormir por lo menos 7 horas diarias para que puedas funcionar mejor al día siguiente. Esto te ayudará a tener más energía y a sentirte con ganas de continuar con tu propósito. 6. Utiliza bloqueador. No solo te enfoques en tu cuerpo sino también en lo que necesitas para conservarte y evitar enfermedades futuras. Utiliza bloqueador todas las mañanas o antes de salir al sol, y si te es posible, busca el que mejor protección ofrezca. 7. Haz una lista todas las mañanas. Yo siempre cargo en mi bolsa una pequeña libreta para hacer mi lista del súper, de mis actividades diarias, de las notas que debo escribir y de mis pendientes. Te invito a que comiences a enlistar cada actividad que tengas al día, y conforme vayas cumpliéndolas, ve tachándolas. Esto te ayudará a organizar tu tiempo y a sentirte satisfecho al final de tus actividades del día. Oración...

Just a Thought: Graduation time Well it s that time of the year for high school and university students in San Antonio to get ready to walk the stage for graduation ceremonies. Students from everywhere in the metro area are gearing up for the parties, celebrations of long anticipated completion of at least a four year marathon of classes that culminates in a degree or diploma. Many graduating high school students who can t afford the sticker value of a college education are frantically looking for scholarships and other avenues to pay for their degrees. Many parents are doing their best to help their kids achieve that goal with financial help by working two jobs and taking out loans. For many families in San Antonio this will be the first generation to obtain a college degree. The journey actually begins when a student graduates from middle school. This puts them on the path to achieve a higher education and sets the tone for what they may choose for their lifelong career. As high school prepares them with basic life skills to allow them to compete in the workforce, it comes to fruition their senior year when they begin the journey of choosing whether to go to college or not and which college or tech school to attend to fulfill their career choices. For many the hardship of the financial burden is often so overwhelming to the point of discouragement, that they either give up or indefinitely postpone their dreams of a better life and financial security. The students of Bexar County live in a somewhat more positive environment than most. Our community values education and therefore works diligently to assist families in being able to send their children forward in their pursuit of higher education. This support comes in the form of scholarships and financial assistance from the many individuals and organizations and foundations within Bexar County. These groups work year round raising funds to be able to award deserving students the opportunity to make a better life for themselves and their families. It also encourages those students who succeed in obtaining their educational goals to return to their community and become productive citizens who pay it forward. One of the many educational organizations whose sole purpose is to ensure that local students are given the chance to receive a scholarship to pursue their education is the La Prensa Education Foundation spearheaded by Millie Duran. Millie, wife of La Prensa By Steve Walker Publisher Tino Duran has successfully raised over $2 million in scholarship monies over the years. Recently I was privileged to cover this year s fundraiser gala as I have done numerous times in the past. As an active member of the San Antonio Association of Hispanic Journalists (SAAHJ) I have also been involved in a number of fundraising events for aspiring young journalists. In fact in August we will host our annual SAAHJ Gala Ceremony that will award scholarships to worthy students. One example of a success story is Francisco Vara-Orta, a former recipient. He is now the current President of SAAHJ and a reporter for the San Antonio Express-News. There are many other organizations, foundations and individuals who feel strongly about ensuring that the educational future will be bright for not only students, but the entire community. This is a win-win for everyone in Bexar County. As always, just thought. Steve Walker is a Vietnam Veteran and former Justice of the Peace and journalist.

11 04 de mayo de 2014 This Week In Sports Holt on Silver s decision to ban Sterling The NBA is built upon equality and diversity. There is no room for racism or bigotry in our league. All of us at Spurs Sports & Entertainment fully support the decision made today by Commissioner Silver. Romo feels good Despite coming off back surgery last December, Romo told ESPN s Tim MacMahon during the Dallas Mavericks-San Antonio Spurs NBA playoff game on Monday night, I m feeling good. He began the offseason program last week. San Antonio Stars ready for 2014 Season By Jessica Duran It s the month of May and that means the start of the WNBA season. This year is a season of positive expectations for the San Antonio Stars. A total of 16 players are on the training camp roster including former Notre Dame guard Kayla McBride, the third pick in the WNBA draft via Stars. The addition of McBride will help the team offensively as the Stars only averaged 72.1 points per game and shot 40 percent from the field compared to their opponents 77.9 points per and 45.5 percent shooting from the field. Stars forward Danielle Adams led the team with 14.4 points last season. The Stars roster this season is extremely young. Only four players on the current roster have five years or more experience in the WNBA, including 15 year veteran guard and team captain Becky Hammon. Hammon s season was cut short last year after suffering a season-ending injury to her knee. Over the off-season she looked to gain not only leadership skills but also coaching skills. Hammon recently sat behind the San Antonio Spurs bench during their regular season to learn from the best of the best, coach Gregg Popovich. Another key player returning from injury is Stars guard Sophia Young-Malcom, who was also sideline due to a damaging ACL tear in her knee playing in the Chinese league before the 2013 season began. Eager and never more ready, Young-Malcom looks to help lead alongside Hammon to another Western Conference title and their first WNBA Championship.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Xabi Alonso celebrate together during a win over Bayern Munich. (Courtesy photo) Real Madrid KO's Bayern Munich, advances to Champions League final By Jamie Trecker FOX Soccer Cristiano Ronaldo made UEFA Champions League history Tuesday, becoming the highest-scorer ever in a European campaign as Real Madrid routed Bayern Munich in Bavaria 4-0 Tuesday night. The result put Real through to the finals in Lisbon 5-0 on aggregate and dealt a massive blow to Bayern's pride: this was just their first loss to Madrid at home in 11 games, and it came at the worst possible time. Real's fabled "La Decima" is now in sight for Real, and they await Tuesday's result to find out their opponent as Atletico take on Chelsea in London. Were Atletico to win, it would set up the sixth same-country Champions League final -- but the first featuring two teams from the same city. From the start, Bayern looked ner- vous and out of sorts, wilting in the glare of their own arena. Before the match, both managers had stressed the mental aspect of the contest and both were correct -- it was Carlo Ancelotti's team that were by far the more composed. Real signaled their intent after just nine minutes when keeper Manuel Neuer took an unwise constitutional, allowing Gareth Bale a free volley from 35 yards on his net. That attempt sliced wide, but the fans around the ground drew in their breath, sensing it was a harbinger. They were correct. Eight minutes later to the second, Sergio Ramos outleapt everyone at the far edge of the penalty area to meet Luka Modric's corner, and pound home the header that break the match open. Neuer was not to blame; Dante and David Alaba were the ones who had gone missing this time around, and while Ramos' hops were majestic, the fact was, he had no one within two yards of him. Three minutes later, Ramos would ice the game. Toni Kroos unwisely fouled Bale and Angel di Maria stepped up, and his free-kick pinged in to Ramos -- again left unguarded by Dante. This was a far more egregious error as Ramos was able to run into space without a Bayern player anywhere in sight. All the back could do was kick the ground in frustration while Ramos was buried by his teammates in the corner. Then, cometh the hour, cometh the man. Ronaldo, who has been Real's dynamo over these years, made history in the 34th minute with a clinical counterattack. Modric began it with an outlet up to Karim Benzema, who lobbed the ball out to Bale. Bale laid it on a plate for Ronaldo, and he made no mistake. The goal put Ronaldo's single-campaign tally at 15, setting a new European record; moreover, Dirk Nowitzki: Es difícil detener la defensiva de Spurs Por José I. Franco Los Spurs juegan bastante defensiva y en la ofensiva son expertos. Lamentablemente nos arrebataron el partido, ya estábamos en comando durante el cuarto periodo, sin embargo la explosión de su contundencia sobre la cancha nos hizo quedarnos con la esperanza de poder salir adelante en los partidos restantes de la serie, expresó Dirk Nowitzki, delantero titular y capitán de los Mavericks de Dallas. Los visitantes fueron superados en el AT&T Center por los Spurs con marcador de 109 por 103, que cerraron fuerte el último cuarto para desempatar su serie y tomar ventaja con 3 victorias por 2 de Mavs. Al cierre de esta edición, no se pudo obtener resultados del sexto partido jugado en el American Airline Center en Dallas. En caso que Mavs se haya alzado con la victoria, la serie a ganar 4 de 7 partidos se estará alargando con el séptimo cotejo este domingo en el AT&T Center, donde Spurs por cuarta vez serán anfitriones de la serie en cuartos de final del oeste. De acuerdo al capitán y delantero estelar Tim Duncan, si los Spurs, que tienen dos oportunidades más para ganar su cuarto partido (sexto y séptimo encuentro), no logran la victoria (con la serie empatada 3-3) el partido número 7 se desarrollará en San Antonio (con horario pendiente por designar). Tenemos confianza por ganar el sexto partido en Dallas, y si no se hace realidad, entonces por aquí estaremos el domingo, dijo emocionado el capitán Duncan.

Unsavory? Perhaps, but only the flint-hearted would begrudge him the moment. Ronaldo would then stretch his total to 16 late in the game, burying a free kick in the 89th minute to add insult to injury. Kroos again conceded the foul, and again Real made the Germans pay. The humiliation was now complete. Where was Josep Guardiola during all this? He wore the pained expression of a man who has seen his entire system torn to shreds, brought home by the home announcer who drily quipped that while Bayern were playing tiki-taka, Real had already played tic-tac-toe. He sipped water, he prowled his area, and he finally sat slumped in his seat. The half wasn't even over.

14 4-B La Prensa de San Antonio 04 de mayo de 2014 Silver & Black Give Back awards 100K to Team Up Challenge Champions Special to La Prensa Silver & Black Give Back formerly The Spurs Foundation, named five student-led groups as this year s Team Up Challenge Champions awarding $20,000 to each. Last fall, 20 Team Up Challenge semifinalists received $2,500 to help start their service learning projects. The five champions were selected based on presentations made to the Team Up Challenge review committee, online voting and overall commitment to making a community impact over the course of the academic year. Each team received their big checks during halftime of the Spurs vs. Lakers game held at the AT&T Center, were general manager R.C. Buford congratulated all the five Team Up Challenge Champions representatives. Harris Middle School (NEISD): The Harris Middle School Green Team worked to expand their garden this year. The class maintains the Harris Community Garden, which harvests organic produce and has student-led composting and vermicomposting teams. The group regularly hosts community education classes to teach their peers and adults how to create their own garden. Additionally, the group hosts weekly farmers markets with items from the Harris Community Garden. With the $20,000 the group plans to install a state of the art greenhouse and an outdoor kitchen to offer summer cooking classes. Rodriguez Elementary School (Seguin ISD): The second graders started Baking with Books to read books that correspond to curriculum and bake a recipe that relates to that book. The group visited different community organizations to deliver their baked goods, learn about the services provided and to volunteer with the organization. Baking with Books visited a senior citizens center, the local fire department, the humane society and more throughout the school year. The group plans to use the award money to continue their outreach efforts. Stevens High School (NISD): When the Gifted/Talent Leadership program discovered that several hundred students at their campus have family members deployed abroad in our Armed Services the group created Operations from Stevens With Love. The program works to send custom-made care packages to soldiers overseas. The group recruited the entire Stevens campus of more than 3,000 students in the project, to include high school newspapers, recording of band performances and the essentials like socks and shampoo in care packages. With the $20,000, Operation from Stevens With Love will continue sending care packages and grow the program to include the feeder middle and elementary schools. Wilson Elementary School (SAISD): Is close to being considered within a food desert, meaning no grocery store is located within a mile of the campus. The students decided to create a Garden Club and planted 16 garden beds to harvest fall, winter and spring crops. The students provided their fresh produce- which included over 60 pounds of lettuce, broccoli, beets, carrots, peas and more- to families of students at the school who may not be able to afford fresh, organic produce. With the $20,000 the group will be able to operate their community garden throughout the summer, start a young master gardeners program and continue to maintain their gardens for years to come. Zachry Middle School (NISD): Zachry Middle School s Community of Readers wants to increase literacy levels within their district. The group has partnered with Knowlton Elementary, one of their feeder schools, to start and after school mentor program. The Zachry Middle School students visit Knowlton Elementary every other week to read with the children. The group discovered many students do not own age appropriate books at home. As part of the project, Zachry students read a book together with Knowlton students and each Knowlton student takes a copy of that book home with them. With the $20,000 the group will be able to expand their reading program to other elementary schools within their district. The Team Up Challenge encourages students to apply what they are learning in the classroom to the real world, bringing education alive in powerful ways. Students create projects that address needs that will help improve their community in one of five categories: Arts & Culture, Education, Environment, Health & Wellness or Uniformed Services. As a premier initiative of Silver & Black Give Back, Spurs and Rampage players have worked alongside the students to help bring their vision to life. Visit TeamUpChallenge. com for videos and photos of Spurs and Rampage players that Teamed Up with various projects throughout the year. R.C.

The school has 46 full-time faculty and 30 adjunct professors and distinguished visiting professors.

Dos estudiantes de idiomas de la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles (UCLA) leen un poema en español. (Courtesia foto) EFEUSA- "Bigot" en inglés no se refiere a un mostacho, sino a un intolerante; "candid" no quiere decir cándido, sino sincero, y las "figures" tampoco son cifras, no figuras. La academia Norteamericana de la Lengua Española (ANLE) vuelve a la carga con un intento de ayudar a los estudiantes universitarios de origen hispano, y a la población latina en general, a dominar mejor la lengua española y así incrementar sus perspectivas profesionales y económicas. Se trata del libro "Hablando claro se entiende la gente 2", presentado este lunes en la sede del Instituto Cervantes en Nueva York, y que ofrece algo más de 200 "píldoras" en las que el uso de la lengua española en los Estados Unidos es incorrecto, debido a la "contaminación" del inglés, según explica a Efe el presidente de la ANLE, Gerardo Piña-Rosales. El nuevo libro continúa el formato del primer libro de la serie, que salió al mercado en 2010 con más de 300 ejemplos concretos y cortos sobre cómo mejorar el uso del español, y del que se acabaron vendiendo más de ejemplares, lo que supuso un éxito muy positivo para la academia del español más joven de todo el mundo. El público prioritario son los estudiantes universitarios de origen hispano que no hablan muy bien la lengua, explica el académico, que cada vez son más conscientes de que el dominio de varias lenguas les ayudará en su futuro profesional. Este libro, igual que el primero, ha recibido algunas críticas de quienes piensan que la academia debería mantiene una posición elitista y debería dejar que el lenguaje evolucionara por sí solo, pero el presidente de la ANLE insistió en que no hablar correctamente inglés ni español condena a muchos latinos "a vivir dentro del círculo de pobreza", del que les puede sacar ser realmente bilingües. "Cada vez hay más exigencia en los trabajos para que el dominio del español no sea limitado", afirmó Piña-Rosales, quien destaca que todos las "pequeñas píldoras" de los ejemplos son nuevas, a fin de progresar en la mejora de la calidad del uso de la lengua española en los Estados Unidos. "Los hispanos saben que el buen uso del español tiene un valor económico", destacó por su parte otro de los editores del libro, el traductor Jorge Covarrubias, durante la presentación del volumen. El presidente de la ANLE añadió que estos consejos también pueden ayudar a los estudiantes cuya lengua materna es el inglés, aunque algo menos, ya que en general "no tienen el problema de la interferencia del inglés". También recordó que los ejemplos se centran eminentemente en la vida cotidiana (y así se recuerda que el "principal" quiere decir el director de la escuela, y "gracious" no es gracioso, sino cortés o gentil), y están presentados en textos fáciles con humor, y con viñetas. El presidente de la ANLE recalcó que el objetivo de los libros no es enseñar gramática, sino "ofrecer una pequeña ayuda" a los hispanos. La Academia está ultimando ya un tercer libro que ahonda en este tipo de pedagogía, con otros 200 consejos prácticos -una fórmula que ha dado "buen resultado", según Piña-Rosales-, y una serie de ejercicios para insistir en la práctica. Este tercer volumen, que estará concluido en un par de meses, no tiene aún un editor. El libro presentado, publicado igual que el primero por la editorial Santillana USA, ha sido realizado por los miembros de la ANLE y editado por el propio Piña-Rosales (profesor del Graduate Center de la Universidad de la Ciudad de Nueva York, CUNY), junto con Domnita Dumitrescu (profesora de Lingüística Española en la Universidad del Estado de California-Los Ángeles), y del traductor Jorge Covarrubias.
